Schools for deprived children
By a Post Reporter
BIRATNAGAR, May 1 - Separate arrangement for schooling of one
thousand 200 children has been made in different VDCs of Morang district as they were
deprived of the opportunity to read in schools.
Such arrangement has been made for children in Amaibariyati,
Sorabhag, Nocha, Pokhariya and Kadamaha VDCs with the active initiative of Jeevan Vikas
Samaj of Amaibaraiyati. Children from the poor families and those who were deprived of the
schooling opportunity will be taught in the schools in the morning and evening.
The children will be taught by the children in the three
schools established in Peta, Dharampur and Amai. Apart from this, one teacher has also
been appointed in each of the schools.
The courses being taught are the same as those taught in
government schools, said Buddha Narayan Mandal, teacher of the school at Peta.
According to Mandal, the best students of the schools teach
the children. Teachers teach them only the lessons which the students fail to teach these
children.
Chairman of Jeevan Vikas Samaj Yogendra Mandal said the
children who were studying in these schools were mostly those who were from the
economically backward families and who needed to support themselves by working as cowherds
and labourers.
The organisation chairman has informed that all the books,
copies and pencils are provided to the students by the organisation free of cost and the
organisation has envisaged that it will eradicate illiteracy in these VDCs in the next 14
years. Such children will also be made aware of police, administration, legal aspects and
children’s rights.
These VDCs are very backward from the viewpoint of education,
economy,politics and construction and development works. The children studying in these
schools are mostly from Musahar, Paswan, Mandal, Mochidum and Muslim families, according
to chairman of Amaibariyati VDC Musaharu Mandal.
Mandal informed that no children would be deprived of the
opportunity to go to school after the three schools have been established in these five
VDCs.
